Requested by anonymous.
“People keep buying Oliver the most hideous toys,” Sherlock complained.
“It’s a sign of affection,” John told him.
“Is it? Because they’re hideous. I’d rather they didn’t show affection if their affection manifests in hideous things.”
“What is so offensive about a toy boat?” John asked.
“The colors!” Sherlock exclaimed. “Look at the colors!”
“Babies like bright colors.” John shrugged.
“Babies,” Sherlock said, in a tone of voice that implied Oliver must be left out of that category.
John said, “You know, it’s to help them learn what the colors are.”
“No need. Oliver already knows,” said Sherlock.
“Of course.”
